F*** IT!

As a fashion student, I am aware that there has been a problem growing in the fashion industry. What I mean by problems is serious problems. "I'm too fat!" or "I'm too skinny!" is what I keep hearing from most girls. The point I wanted to raise from this today is that there is an issue with body images coming from the fashion industry. We all look up to the models walking on the runway and we look at them as if they were goddesses and perfectionists. Why? They are skinny, have flawless skin, and beautiful facial features. The message we receive from the models on the runway is that in order to be "beautiful" or "perfect", we must be skinny. The issue is that girls look up to these models and to the fashion industry as role models. They want to be just like them and look like them. Its crazy what girls can do to be just like them. Our society has raised really high expectations on beauty and perfection. We need to change this because more and more girls are turning anorexic, falling into depression, or even committing suicide due to the lack of self acceptance and self esteem issues. Girls, I just wanted to let you know you shouldn't care about what others think. Accept yourself just the way you are. No ones perfect. All these expectations and this whole message from the fashion industry is just plain stupid. We are all beautiful just the way you are. As long as you feel comfortable with yourself, then you are beautiful <3

AND YOU KNOW WHAT? F*** WHAT PEOPLE THINK ABOUT YOU!

This is a really touching topic for me. I'm writing a paper for a scholarship on problems I see in the fashion industry. Body images are a major problem!
